The Rock, Phi Beach — Porto Cervo Wedding (Costa Smeralda)

 

An Intimate Wedding In Costa Smeralda, Porto Cervo

What took place this summer was a delicate, intimate, and beautifully elegant wedding. Ludovica and Federico chose Phi Beach, in its most evocative and private corner: The Rock, the venue’s secluded area.

Between sky, rocks, and sea. Glances, emotions, wind, and freedom crossed paths in a wonderful day that flew by in an instant. The whisper of that sea — incredibly beautiful — stayed with us both on the wedding day and on the following day, devoted to a private brunch on the beach. The celebration then moved to Milan, on September 27, for an informal evening. But that’s another story — we’ll tell it another time.
